This afternoon I ordered a Winchester Model 1873 Sporter 357 magnum octagon 24". It should arrive next Thursday. The wait will be unbearable!

Here are some quick pics from my mobile phone.
The wood grain is much nicer than the pics show. Last edited by arlen on Sun Aug 13, 2017 5:08 pm, edited 2 times in total.

Fantastic!! This rifle shoots like a dream. With open sights I can hit a shotgun shell in the snow at 30 ft. A loose pine knot in the snow at 50 ft. Now, believe this if you want, I was able to hit a 5/8" diameter wooden dowel at 75 yards (it took 4 tries.). I hit many other loose items at the primitive shooting range in the forest. In all I shot 28 rounds. And let me assure you I am a 67 year old blind feller.
This was a very good purchase for me. Sights required no adjustment. Everything seems to be mechanically sound with the rifle. Well balanced firearm and a beautiful wall hanger. Winchester is wonderful. Regards,
